    Hello, congratulations on your plugin.

    When a user fills out the form they have the option of downloading it and also having it arrive by email.

    From the administration area you access the forms that have arrived and the field information appears.

    You would need to be able to see the url of the PDF that you have filled in that information. It’s possible?

    Hi,

    If I understood you correctly, you are asking if you can provide a URL to the filled PDF file (probably via a notification).

    Yes, you can use the ‘Path for saving filled PDF file’ option to save the filled PDF in some particular location in ‘wp-content/uploads’ and provide a link to it elsewhere. You will need to use a smart tag like ‘{unique_value}’ to make sure your save path and URL are different every time the form is filled out.

    For example, you can create a hidden field and use ‘{unique_value}’ as its default value. You can then use the value ‘pdfs/{field_id=”5″}’ as the save location, where field 5 is the hidden field. The URL would be ‘https://yourdomain.tld/wp-content/uploads/pdfs/{field_id=”5″}/filename.pdf’. When the form is filled, ‘{field_id=”5″}’ will be replaced with a randomly generated string of numbers and letters in both, the save path and the URL that was provided.

    You should probably set the ‘New filled PDF file name’ option as well to make sure the filename is correct.

    Let me know if that helps or not.
